Narrow Backswing - Bunker

This is a great bunker drill from Stan Utley that was discussed in his book, "The Art of the Short Game". It is one of my favorite drills for golfers who tend to get too wide of a backswing in the bunker. Players who default to their one-piece take-away and long backswing almost always bottom out before the ball, leading to thin and/or chunked shots. There are two variations for achieveing the right amount of "narrowness" discussed here, so be sure to figure out which one works best for your game.
